Queen Elizabeth didn’t need to sit on the Iron Throne. She has her own back home, thanks.

And even though the reigning monarch didn’t sit on the throne that is at the centre of the HBO fantasy-drama Game of Thrones, she appeared to thoroughly enjoy her tour of the Belfast set in the city’s Titanic Quarter. The Queen and Prince Philip made the stop at Paint Hall studios on Tuesday as part of their three-day tour of Northern Ireland.

“As well as meeting cast and production staff, the Royal couple were also given a short overview of the series and the impact it has had on Northern Ireland, not only in terms of employment, but also in the creative arts field,” BBC reported. “The Queen and Prince Philip also viewed some of the props that have featured in the hit fantasy show.”

The Guardian reported that the show has generated millions of pounds for the Northern Ireland economy since 2009.

“According to the Northern Ireland assembly,” the Guardian said, “it has created the equivalent of more than 900 full-time and 5,700 part-time jobs in a region of fewer than 2 million people.”

The Irish Independent reported that David Benioff and Dan Weiss, executive producers and writers of Game of Thrones, led the Queen’s tour.

“She was also presented with a miniature replica of the Iron Throne of Westeros — the real seat is said to be coveted by only the most machiavellian of kings,” noted the Independent.

Fans of the show have noted the similarities between many of the series’ characters and royal figures from British history. Many believe the shows plots, based on the books by George RR Martin, pay homage to the intrigue and bloodshed of the Wars of the Roses, with Lannister simply being a play on Lancaster and Stark being a nod to York.
